KEY MESSAGES:
- SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WATCH UNTIL 8 AM CDT.

- MARGINAL TO SLIGHT RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.
A LINE OF STORMS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF S
TX THIS MORNING, WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE
COASTLINE THROUGH SUNRISE. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG TO
SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREATS.
ISOLATED TORNADOS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. HEAVY RAINFALL MAY LEAD TO
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING, MAINLY ACROSS URBAN AREAS AND LOW LYING
AREAS. AT THIS TIME, WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED DUE TO
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE REMAINING AROUND 3-5 INCHES/3HR. RAINFALL
TOTALS FOR TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 1-3
INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS EXPECTED THIS MORNING.
ONCE THESE STORMS EXIT S TX, RAIN CHANCES DECREASE, BUT ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON DUE TO
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE, A STALLED BOUNDARY AND AN UNSTABLE
AIRMASS. HOWEVER, AS A RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS S TX, CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY SUPPRESSED. THUS, RAIN
CHANCES DROP TO 10-30% BY THE AFTERNOON. MODELS SHOW LOW (10-20%)
RAIN CHANCES TONIGHT DUE TO THE RIDGING ALOFT, PWATS DECREASING TO
AROUND 1.5 INCHES, AND MUCH HIGHER CIN ACROSS S TX. LOW TO MEDIUM
(5-30%) RAIN CHANCES ARE PROGGED FOR THURSDAY WITH THE 30% POPS
ACROSS THE VICTORIA CROSSROADS AND THE 5% ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE
